As the summer travel season hits its peak, Trip.com reports a significant uptick in bookings across Europe. This surge is largely driven by a major international sporting event set to begin in Paris in late July. Singaporean travellers are among the top five Asia-Pacific tourists heading to Paris this summer, with overall bookings up 12% year-on-year.

Nice in the French Riviera and Lyon, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are top choices on their travel lists.

Increased Travel Expenditure Among Singaporean Travellers

Travel bookings from Singapore to France have increased 19% year-on-year. Most of these travellers are aged between 25 and 44, with their travel budgets allocated as follows: 52% on flights, 34% on hotels, and 14% on trains. There’s a growing preference for luxury accommodation, evidenced by a 10% increase in bookings for 5-star hotels in France.

Europe Remains a Favored Destination

Beyond France, other European countries remain popular among Singaporean travellers. The United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, and Switzerland are also top destinations this summer.

This surge in travel highlights the ongoing passion for exploring new cultures and destinations among Singaporean travellers, especially as they seek out both classic attractions and new experiences across Europe.
